Barenschenke in Quedlinburg

Excellent service and great value. The waiter was very friendly and knew a little Spanish, which was much appreciated. We ordered pumpkin soup (it's pumpkin season) and it was delicious, a vegetarian dish, and a breaded cutlet with mushroom cream sauce. The portions were generous and very tasty.

We just wanted a coffee and a snack, and we got a table right away. Our dog was allowed in too. The service was courteous and the price was absolutely reasonable. The cakes and coffee specialties are delicious.

A very nice place in the middle of the market in Quedlinburg, nice funny service and the food is absolutely recommendable

We just popped in because it was full outside. We still got a seat right away. The waiter was very friendly and always had a good joke. We had to wait a bit longer for our food, but they apologized with a free shot of schnapps. The food was delicious 😋, and it was the right decision.

We had dinner at the Bären and were ultimately quite disappointed. We had hoped for good, home-style cooking. The menu read well, but unfortunately, the food was simply not good enough for the rather high prices. The trout "Müllerinen" was okay, but simply not good enough for €27. My salad, for €18, was the biggest disappointment: the described salad variation consisted of iceberg lettuce with a bit of cucumber, tomato, onion, and corn. The sauce was lacking everything, and the chicken wasn't anything special either. It wasn't bad in itself, but it really wasn't good for the price. What is actually nice is the location; you're sitting right on the market square.

Tasty and perfectly located on the main square. Prices are high and the wait time can be long, though. Uploading the summer 2025 menu

We had lunch there today and I was very surprised. It was delicious. Kudos to the kitchen, keep up the good work. 👍🏻

We ate 6 adults + 2 children inside the restaurant for lunch. It was super good, very child-friendly and very delicious food.

The pasta with salmon and spinat tastes fantastic. Really good restaurant. I can recommend to visit this place in Quedlinburg.🇺🇿

Excellent food & warm service! A restaurant visit as it should be: From the very first moment, we felt completely at home. The atmosphere is stylish, yet relaxed and inviting. The food was prepared to perfection – creative, fresh, and simply outstanding in taste. Each course was a little highlight in its own right. I would especially like to highlight the service: The waitresses were exceptionally friendly, attentive, and yet wonderfully unobtrusive. Our child was greeted with pencils and coloring sheets, and every "special" child request was accommodated – thank you very much for that! With a smile on their faces and genuine interest in the well-being of the guests – you don't experience that everywhere. Here you can see that hospitality is truly lived. I can highly recommend the Restaurant zum Bären and am already looking forward to my next visit!

The restaurant and hotel is located right on the beautiful old market square. The food was excellent, as was the service.

We visited the restaurant this evening and experienced outstanding and, above all, very child-friendly service. We were served by a trainee who immediately arranged a high chair for our child. We were then brought a children's menu with sharpened pencils. The menu is varied and the quality of the food is very good. We can wholeheartedly recommend the restaurant.

I don't normally review restaurants, but here I want to point out that appearances can be deceiving. Very central location with a beer garden in the back courtyard and a decent atmosphere inside. So far so good; I got a table immediately without a reservation. I ordered veal schnitzel in rosemary sauce with carrots and potatoes for €29. The quality of the meat was mediocre, and the sauce never had a hint of rosemary, which was the biggest disappointment for me. Along with three carrots and two potatoes!!!, I think you can expect more for the price. The service didn't even come to check during the meal. Overall, unsatisfactory.

We have nothing to complain about. We stopped in after our city tour and received a very warm welcome. A lovely, clean atmosphere, and best of all, a superb schnitzel with asparagus and hollandaise sauce that tasted and looked homemade, not like it came from a tetra pack. A delicious dark beer to go with it, perfect.

Absolute tourist rip-off, no card payment possible, small portions, big prices. Furniture from the 90s. You can tell that the owners are resting on their location in the center.

I had asparagus with schnitzel and potatoes. It really was perfect! The hollandaise was also great. Completely satisfied!

Very bad service!!! We waited 1 1/4 hours for our food. After asking several times, we were told that the food would be coming soon. After we noticed that all the people who had arrived later than we had already had their food, they demanded our food a little more aggressively...If it hadn't already been so late, we would have left. It has to do with the fact that we are a female couple. Something like that shouldn't be a problem anymore in 2025!!! Marion and Heidi Gerlach-Schmechel

Perfect thank you 🙏 Best service

After an hour of waiting, the food came. I ate tagliatelle with salmon for €25. Completely unsalted and unseasoned. It really didn't taste good.

Very tasty and cozy, thank you, we'll be happy to come back.👍🙂

Nice restaurant with very friendly service and tasty food. Changing daily menu. We were thrilled.

Very good coffee and delicious cake.

Hey, we didn't see any other guests in the house, but we just popped in. Friendly service, food okay and ambience normal. So normally good. You can do it.

The restaurant was very nicely decorated, the service was extremely friendly and accommodating and the food was fantastic. There was a coloring card and colored pencils for the child. My sesame schnitzel with fresh cream Mushrooms tasted wonderful and even an inconspicuous starter salad turned out to be outstanding. The higher price range is worth every cent and eaten straight away...

Super delicious food and service

Very nice, stylish accommodation right in the beautiful old town. Friendly staff. Good breakfast buffet.

We enjoyed it very much and the service was very accommodating and friendly. We'd love to come back.

A dinner on vacation. Good and tasty with nice service.

The service was excellent and very child-friendly. The food tastes good, but a lot of it seems to be frozen, e.g. B. the cauliflower thalers. I don't think that's appropriate for a restaurant in this price range.

Last night we stopped at the Bär Restaurant. The atmosphere was cozy and we were happy that we still got a place at the patchwork table as everything was fully booked everywhere. The waitress was friendly, but warned us straight away that the line-up wasn't the best. This became noticeable while she was waiting, but what can you say, she played with her cards open. To eat: the large one was delicious, the fish was a little too bathed in butter. When we ordered drinks, a bottle of water was immediately provided, which was actually requested differently, but to be fair we didn't say anything about it - which we could have done. The potatoes could have used a few more crumbs of salt, but salt and pepper were available. We fell into bed full and satisfied. Thank you very much.

Nice spot to enjoy tasty meals in a cold winter day

Very centrally located, rustic and cozy interior, friendly service. We would love to come back.

Restaurant Top !!!! Service Ok !!! Ambiente Top !!!!

Good restaurant in a great location right in the center. Despite not having a reservation, we were warmly welcomed and served quickly. The food was delicious, especially the cauliflower thalers are recommended!

The bratwurst didn't make it. The 2024 Christmas market in Quedlinburg was incredibly full, but also extremely beautiful. Anyone who has ever been there knows that there is one food stall next to another. The Thuringian Rostbratwurst has visitors firmly in their hands. But on the third Advent we actually ended up at the Hotel Zum Bär to have lunch there after our arrival. Without further ado, we can hereby announce: We were not disappointed. A sesame schnitzel with fresh cream mushrooms and croquettes, and for me please also the pork medallions with fresh cream mushrooms and fried potatoes. We wouldn't necessarily give it a Michelin star, but our food was solidly cooked and we both enjoyed it very much. The service was friendly, the drinks were at a good temperature. There's nothing to complain about. Would we come back? Well, there's nothing wrong with it, but there's still a little room for improvement. So we don't rule out a future visit. It was tasty but not outstanding. There is definitely a simple thumbs up. 👍🏻

I made a reservation by phone for 15 people, then there were one more, it wasn't a problem, the employees on the phone and in the restaurant were all very nice and friendly, service and service were good but seemed a bit hectic, perhaps too few staff or too much to do , food was good but didn't come all in a row, it was also Advent time in Qlb. The portions are large, any special requests were accepted, I had salmon fillet with ribbon noodles and leaf spinach and cocktail tomatoes, €25, I found the salmon a bit too dry, the other ingredients were ok, but the price was a bit overpriced. Was there for the first time, would go there again and eat there.

Quality food, very nice staff, comfortable chairs

Sesame schnitzel! That was really good. 😊👍

We ate here with the children and can really recommend it!

In my opinion, the price-performance-quality ratio for the food was not right and is not justified. Food is okay but clearly too expensive for the quality of the meat. I like to spend a lot of money on food but this wasn't right and I wouldn't eat there again. Service was good and attentive and also rated well.

The food was good, but they aren't the fastest here. You cannot tip with a card

Pork medallions were mediocre, bland in taste, a disappointment. The price is even sportier: 32.50 euros including beer! No recommendation.

The pan-fried vegetables were disappointingly cold, greasy, carrots from the frost, and too expensive for that. Bear pan is good for this, very lush

We were in the cafe. The waitress who picked us up was friendly. Even changed the cutlery when it fell down.

We love going here, sometimes before 12pm and sometimes around 5pm. I always ate shrimp pan. Great, of course all the other dishes too. I can only recommend this restaurant to all visitors to Quedlinburg.

You sit at the hotspot of Quedlinburg - very, very nice. The food was okay and the service “made an effort”.

First of all: the meat eaters were very enthusiastic. But as a vegetarian I was disappointed, I ordered a salad that was listed under vegetarian dishes and only consisted of some iceberg lettuce, a few cocktail tomatoes and cucumber slices. Disappointing for such a restaurant at this price. A Mediterranean vegetable (which I ate on another day because my enthusiastic grandparents wanted to eat meat again) was rather overcooked (and frozen vegetables) and on top there was frozen herb butter - at least it kept its attitude! ;) . Also disappointing. However, the service was very nice!

I stopped here for a drink a few times during my stay in Quedlinburg. The service is very friendly and attentive. The food I saw looked very good. It seems to be one of the few restaurants in Quedlinburg that doesn't close at half past seven in the evening. I would come here again!

Once again I am thrilled by the extremely delicious 😋 food and the courteous and super friendly staff. See you next time.

The restaurant is ideally located on the market square in Quedlinburg. You can sit comfortably and watch the hustle and bustle on the market square in peace. The food is really very good and rich. The waitresses are cheerful and very attentive

A nice place for a break and coffee with cake. You can enjoy the views of the market square.

Nice restaurant with friendly service. Our dog was allowed to accompany us inside. The food portions were generous. We were well fed. The veal schnitzel and chicken breast fillet were particularly tender. We'd love to come back.

Super friendly and quick service with humor, excellent food (tender pork medallions with perfect fried potatoes, very good goulash soup) -- we actually wanted to go to a different restaurant every day, we ended up there on the penultimate day of the trip and are coming tomorrow (last day before departure) again again. Absolutely recommended, the best of the restaurants we tested in Quedlinburg.

Unfortunately, the Bärenfanne for 33 euros was a total failure, everything was fried to death. We complained about it to the cellar, who told us he would take it off the bill, unfortunately we had to pay it in full on the instructions of the boss. That is unworthy of a hotel We know that the catering industry is having a hard time at the moment and we are ignoring a lot of things. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this restaurant.

“Card payment not possible”? No thanks, then we'll go to the competition.

We came here spontaneously for dinner and got a table straight away. It is home-style cuisine in the upper price segment. All dishes were super tasty and of great quality. The service staff was nice and accommodating. We would definitely come again.

Delicious snack, but way too much for one person. It's better to share. I could also order the snack vegetarian. Unfortunately, there was still pork aspic. That's more of a no-go

Really really delicious food. We ate schnitzel with white asparagus and that was poetry. Nice place to eat dinner.

Delicious asparagus in a nice atmosphere.

Exceptionally well prepared and good food. Very friendly and professional staff who took good care of their guests. The restaurant was experienced as genuinely German with modern dishes.

Very nice little hotel, centrally located, very friendly staff

A friend (BIPoC) and I wanted to eat at this lovely restaurant on the market square yesterday. Even though it wasn't super crowded outside, there was no service despite several hand raisings and initial eye contact. Later we had the impression that people were deliberately not looking in our direction, even though the waitress came out several times. All other (white) restaurant guests were served in a relaxed manner. We asked ourselves whether the staff deliberately only served white people because of a racist background and left after waiting 20 minutes.

I was in the beautiful city twice last year (a world heritage site because of the cathedral but also because of the old town, which has now been restored. On the second visit I had lunch at the Bär with a good friend of mine. The price/performance ratio was very good, I'm writing this review belatedly because I want to report on an episode that I've never experienced before. Since the main course was far too rich, it was packed to take away. Why we forgot it, I have no idea. We But we were still able to eat it in Leipzig because the waiter ran behind us screaming loudly for about 300 m with our packed emergency provisions!

Very neat, but unfortunately the loving whistle and special note were missing.

Very friendly service and good food.

We ate at the “Bäre” on a Thursday. The restaurant wasn't very busy, but the service was attentive and courteous. We ate a very tasty shrimp pan as a starter, trout Müllerin and a wild garlic schnitzel as main courses. All dishes were very tasty and prepared with fresh ingredients. Overall, we were very satisfied with our visit.

Very nice place to stay. Large and delicious pieces of cake as well as great coffee specialties at great prices. Unfortunately the service was a bit annoyed.

A very nice restaurant with a cozy interior and friendly staff. The food was very tasty and the service was very accommodating. We chose the vegetarian dishes (breaded cauliflower and vegetarian meatballs with homemade hollandaise and salad) and were very satisfied. It's just a little more expensive than the restaurants nearby.

Nice home-style restaurant with prices in the upper range for this category. We just stopped here for a small snack. My husband had the goulash soup as the offer of the day and was very satisfied. Even though pork was used here, the soup was delicious. My baked potato wasn't particularly noteworthy, only the side salad was fresh and tasty.

Very good food in a nice atmosphere. very good service

I ordered tagliatelle and got raw noodles with a sauce that only tasted like orange juice. Unfortunately I expected more

Good food in a very pleasant atmosphere. Good beer and delicious fruit brandies.

Very nice service. The food tastes excellent. This is our favorite restaurant in Quedlinburg. It's a shame that you can't reserve in advance if, for example, it's a celebration

The service was very good. Even though it was full, we were served quickly and friendly. The food was good.

Reservations are not possible for non-hotel guests, but it's worth stopping by! The food was very tasty. The hotel's restaurant can be reached via the market square.

Simple restaurant, without a reservation we had to wait a long time at 4 p.m. to see if there was still a table available. When we left again at 5:30 p.m., more than half of the tables were still empty. The food is simple but ok. The fried potatoes came to the table before the meat and were already only lukewarm. The lady would have taken you back but the meat was there for us. They were tasty nonetheless. For us as tourists it was ok, if we had stayed longer I would probably have chosen a different restaurant. Oh, the portion sizes are huge and the prices are moderate.

A very nice restaurant. The food was great. The service was nice and friendly. We would come again and again and can recommend it 100%. The dog was also welcome.

I can fully recommend this restaurant. It is a good place to eat well and spend a pleasant evening.

Der Service war sehr flott und freundlich. Es war heute voll und gut besucht. Die Speisen gut angerichtet nicht überwürzt. Das Ambiente war rustikal und zweckmäßig. Die Toiletten sauber und nutzbar. Es hatte uns allen gut gemundet, preislich ist hier gehobene Gastronomie zu finden.

Ich habe das Kalbsschnitzel bestellt – sehr lecker.

Wir sind am Nachmittag dort essen gegangen. Wir haben einen unmöglichen Tisch bekommen und um uns herum, war ALLES ..wirklich alles leer .Wir waren die einzigen die drinnen gesessen haben, anne anderen saßen draußen. Ich frage mich bis heute, was das sollte. Warum haben wir den Tisch bekommen, wo direkt neben uns das Geschirr sortiert wurde, mitten im Gang. Unbegreiflich! Das Essen war sein Geld nicht wert. Nichtmal satt bin ich geworden. Geschmacklich war es ok ,aber auch nicht besser. Dafür teuer ! Der Service war mäßig. Allen die Sache mit dem Tisch gehört Für mich dazu. Als wir gegangen sind, war es im übrigen drinnen immernoch leer !

We went here for the breakfast buffet, which is great. They have a nice selection of sweet and savory breakfast items.

Tolles und Sauberes Hotel mit freundlichem und hilfsbereiten Personal. Schöne Zimmer. Kein Aufzug vorhanden. Gemütliches Restaurant mit gutem Essen.

Mitten im Stadtkern von Quedlinburg lecker essen. 😋

When I visited on a Sunday evening the restaurant was not crowded at all. The dish I ordered "Quedlinburger Brotzeit" was interesting as it consisted of several items that were local to the Harz region. Actually many of them were also served at the hotel breakfast. The service was good.

Das Frühstück war super Personal sehr aufmerksam Preis war auch angebracht

Sehr hohes Niveau in allen Bereichen, wir waren sehr zufrieden!

Die „Tagessuppe“ war eine ausgezeichnet abgeschmeckte Spargelsuppe. Der „kleine“ Salatteller war frisch, reichlich und mit einem leckeren Joghurt Dressing. Freundliche Bedienung und wunderbare Aussenplätze um das bunte Leben auf dem Marktplatz zu genießen. Sehr zu empfehlen 👍

Nettes freundliches Personal das sich um die Belange seiner Gäste kümmert.

Wir hatten hier für 8 Personen reserviert - das hat problemlos geklappt, leider konnten wir deshalb trotz des schönen Wetters nur drinnen sitzen. Alle Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und bemüht. Wir saßen sehr bequem und es war eine ruhige Atmosphäre. Das Essen war lecker. Ich hatte eine selbstgemachte Erdbeer-Rhabarber Limonade, die ausgezeichnet war.

Sehr freundlich, gutes Essen, schneller Service. Auf Kinder wurde eingegangen, vom bequemen Kinderstuhl, Besteck und Ausmalkarte alles vorhanden. Auch wenn der Altersdurchschnitt der Gäste hoch erscheint, modernes Essen und alles sehr ansprechend. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder und haben uns geärgert das wir erst am letzten Tag den Bären entdeckt haben.

Lovely restaurant. Very friendly waitress and excellent service. Had a delicious schnitzel and chocolate cake for dessert. Highly recommend!

Sehr gute Gerichte und sehr freundlich! 👍🏻😀

Als Hotelgast habe ich hier gefrühstückt und zu Abend gegessen. Die Angestellten sind überaus freundlich und zuvorkommend. Beim Frühstück fehlte es an nichts und auch abends kann man aus einer zwar eher kleinen, aber feinen Karte wählen. Edit: kurzfristig mal wieder in Quedlinburg gewesen, in anderem Hotel untergebracht, aber hier einmal wieder das tolle Frühstücksbuffet genutzt, sowie den Mittagstisch.

Ein nettes Restaurant mit leckerem Essen. Was besonders hervorzuheben ist, das Restaurant ist sehr familienfreundlich. Die nette Kellnerin brachte mit den Speisekarten auch eine Kinderkarte die man ausmalen kann. Auch Buntstifte stellte sie wie selbstverständlich hin. Einfach toll und für mich besonders empfehlenswert.

Trattoria da Mario War wieder ein schöner Abend, mit guten Essen.

Wir saßen drinnen im Restaurant, obwohl es bei dem milden Wetter draußen auch schön gewesen wäre. Der Service war leicht überlastet, aber alle waren sehr freundlich und bemüht. Mein Hähnchenfilet a l'orange war köstlich. Ich war ganz begeistert. Das Kalbsschnitzel war auch gut, aber nur gut und nicht so toll wie meine Wahl. Wir saßen sehr bequem und es war eine ruhige Atmosphäre.

Sehr gut gegessen, freundlicher Service.

We joined the breakfast buffet without being booked in the hotel and were positively surprised. 15 Euro for a full buffet including coffee and juice. Fresh scrambled eggs and buns, large variety of cold cuts and desserts. Beautiful views across the market place. Five stars!

Sehr freundliche Bedienung, toller Service und sehr leckers Essen. Wer deutsche Küche mag, ist dort genau richtig. Aus meiner Sicht, ist es das beste Restaurant in Quedlinburg.
